The year 2025 is meant to wrap up old patterns, so that's exactly what we are going to do. This is the last episode it is hella personal.

The Diddy Doc really stirred up some things in me around the ways I have been upholding men, protecting their stories and taking on what was never mine to begin with. In this deeply personal episode, I reflect on how the stories I told myself about love, loyalty, and being “chosen” kept me anchored to patterns that no longer served me. An unexpected reconnection with a woman from my past cracked open two decades of conditioning, clarity, and healing—and forced me to finally tell the truth about a relationship I had long romanticized.

Because the greatest love story you will ever live isn’t about who you end end up with: it’s about who you become when you finally chose yourself.

When you give a woman a microphone...you get razor-sharp satire, powerhouse vocals, permission to be BOLD and the comedic and musical genius that is Sarah Hester Ross.

Sarah Hester Ross is an internationally touring cabaret artist, musical comedian, and viral social media creator whose blend of feminist fire, powerhouse vocals, and razor-sharp satire has earned her nearly 3 million followers and over 30 million streams. Her debut comedy special Don’t Mess With a Redhead (Comedy Dynamics) is streaming on Amazon, Apple TV, and beyond. She’s been featured on America’s Got Talent, The Doctor Demento Show, and she’s a multi–“Best of Las Vegas” award-winner for Comedian and One Woman Show.

In this episode, we dive into:

Sarah’s journey from classically trained musician to globally recognized comedy force
How choosing a single and childfree life has shaped her voice, her career, and her creative freedom
The cultural double standards women still get saddled with—and how humor becomes a weapon and a release
Redefining success on our own terms (and not through marriage or motherhood)
Finding joy, connection, and meaning outside the “approved” life milestones
Why making men mad can be a spiritual practice (you know I had to say it)

If you’re a woman living outside the traditional script, or you’re simply exhausted by society’s obsession with what women “should” be doing with their lives—this episode is your new rally cry.

Let go of I HAVE TO because you can't force what you don't have to give. Sometimes you don't have it to give and that's ok! It doesn't need to be performative because whatever you are doing is enough. Maybe your worst is someone's best and you get to tone it down a notch. You have permission.

Girl, get up! At just 25 years old, music producer Mikey Stone’s world shifted when he was diagnosed with ALS—a disease most people don’t expect to face so young. Since then, Mikey has been documenting his journey with raw honesty, becoming a powerful advocate for awareness, education, and funding for ALS research.

In this deeply human and emotional conversation, Mikey shares his life before diagnosis, the OH SHIT moment when everything changed, and the internal battles he faced while trying to make sense of his new reality. Together, we explore the profound shifts that come with confronting mortality so young: the fragility of life, the urgency to live fully, and the duality of carrying both grief and joy.

Through his advocacy, collaborations, and music, Mikey is proving that even in the hardest circumstances, life can still be lived with purpose, creativity, and presence. This episode is your reminder that none of us are promised forever and the time to live the fucking shit out of your life is now.

Support uplifts. Enabling anchors. One teaches people to swim; the other ties a weight around your own neck and jumps in after them.

As a life-long fix-it friend, I am often called upon to do things, support and uplift, not alongside of someone, but in front of them doing the work, enabling them to opt out of growth. I want to support and share in empowerment, not be put to work. Being supportive doesn’t mean being self-sacrificial. It means loving people enough to hold them accountable, even when it’s uncomfortable.

You can say no and still be kind.
You can pull back and still care.
You can stop rescuing someone and still love them deeply.

Because the most supportive thing you can do for a friend is believe in their capacity to take care of themselves.

In today’s episode, we sit down with Dezaray, The Outspoken Adoptee, a domestic private infant adoptee adopted transracially in 1976. Left in a hospital by her biological family due to racial and religious biases, Dezaray grew up in a home that taught children to “be seen, not heard.”

In this conversation, she shares the challenges of growing up unseen, the abuse she endured, and the moment she reclaimed her voice. We dive deep into the adoption system, its flaws, and the personal and societal impact it has on children. Dezaray’s story is raw, honest, and empowering—a reminder that your voice always matters.

Whether you’re child-free, thinking about adoption, or simply want to hear a story of resilience and triumph, this episode will challenge what you think you know and inspire you to stand in your truth.
